Turning the tables on what we hear

As we transition we often hear things from cisgender (cis) people about our transitioning, reasons, reasons not to etc. This is a list that was compiled in comments to a post about this elsewhere. There is no single contributor, it is a group effort. Feel free to add your own suggestions to this list in the comments. Some of these are reasons that would be given to a cis person for them to transition and not be cis.

Your parents will love you more.

Spend more money on medical bills.

Wouldn’t it be awesome to be a girl?

You’d make a smokin’ hot dude!

Remember how fun adolescence was? Well, guess what? You can do it all over again!

You’ll feel better with boobs.

You wouldn’t feel lonely if you had a pair of boobs to play with.

How do you know you’re not a girl if you’ve never tired?

Have you talked with a psychologist or psychiatrist for 2 yeas to know / prove that you are cis?

Being cis is just a phase you’re going through.

You’d be the best of both worlds!

You just haven’t met the right dress yet.

You’re cis? Thank heavens, I thought you were going to say you’re gay.
